TP & MAY RELAXING BEFORE THE DUBLIN THEATRE FESTIVAL - 1965

"Relaxing in the Intercontinental Hotel on Saturday, T.P. McKenna, who opens
tonight in Alun Owen's 'The Game' at the Gaiety Theatre, and Mrs. McKenna."

This is a shot that appeared in the Irish Press in 1965 prior to that year's Dublin Theatre Festival. 

TP & May had gone to the Intercontinental Hotel in Ballsbridge for a quiet drink when one of the regular press photographers passed by dragging his heels. 

He'd called to the hotel on the chance of snapping Ursula Andress.  She was hosting a party on completion of filming for The Blue Max in which she was starring with George Peppard.  However, Ms.Andress was firmly ensconced in her suite and in no mood for the press.

Would May & TP mind him taking a shot so he wasn't going back to the picture desk empty handed, he asked.

They'd be delighted, they said, and don't they look it.
